Another object of this invention is the provision of a dinner pail whichwhen folded may be easily carried in a coat pocket.

For a full understanding of the invention-- reference may be had to thefollowing de script-ion and to the accompanying draw ings, in which:

F lgure 1 is a perspective view of'our improved dinner-pail; Fig. 2 is avertical section thereof; Fig. 3 is an end View of the device closed;Fig. i is a detail section of the pail closed; Fig." 5 is a detailsection showing'the hook; and Fig. 6 is a detail view of a modified formof the hook.

Throughout the following description and on the drawings similarpart-sare referred to by like characters of reference.

Referring more particularly to thedrawings' the numeral 1 indicates thebottom of the pail which is preferably rectangular in form and isprovided with side flanges 2 and end flanges 3.

Pivotally secured to the side and end flanges are side walls 4 and endwalls 5 respectively which are adapted to fold inwardly when the pail iscollapsed. The side and end walls of the pail are connected rigidly atthe corners thereof by means of thereof on which a cap 10, which may beused as a drinking cup if desired, is secured by screw threads or othersuitahle means.

The cap 7.0 of the can 8 is flush with the upper edges of the walls ofthe paii and the can is held securely in position by the cover 11 of thepail which :rests upon the cap when the said cover is in position.

When it is desired to collapse the will only be necessary to remove thecan, whereupon the hooks 6 may be discngagml from the members '7 and thewalls permitted to fall outwardlyso that the can may be placed in thebottom section of the pail. The walls may then folded inwardly on thecan and the co er ll" may be placed in position to completely inclosethe walls and can within the bottom section of the pail.

The cover is securely held in position on the pail when it is eitheropen or folded by means of hooks 192 which are adapted to engage staplesor eyes secured to the side walls and bottom flan es. of the pail. Slots14 are formed in the cover adjacent the hooks 12 to slidahly engage thestaples or eyes 13.

It will he understood from the drawings thatthe hook will connect thewalls of the pail and at t e nne time prevent the coll'ee can from slipn down into the pail. as shown in lll i at 6 the hooks may he hinged tofacilitate their engagement with the staples or eyes '2".

Having thus fully described our invention what we claim and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A collapsible pail comprising a bottom section having end and sideflanges, end and side walls pivotally secured to the said end and sideflanges of the bottom section a cover, angular hooks connecting the endand side walls at the corners thereof, a can provided with a cap carriedby the said paii and adapted to rest upon the angular hooks, the saidcap being flush with the top of the pail, and the cover adapted to restupon the said cap of the can whereby the can rigidly supported in thepail. 1
